Before gene therapy becomes practical for treating human diseases, researchers must master the details of safe and effective delivery.

Cardiology researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have advanced delivery techniques by creating a versatile synthetic material that can bind to a variety of gene therapy vectors and can be custom-designed for controlled local release of therapeutic genes at a disease site.
